Knowledge Tree

by Joe Slack

“Knowledge Tree” will be Joe Slack’s fifth piece in Edmond. This piece is a powder-coated steel work transposed in front of a vibrant backdrop. The piece consists of conceptualized books as a nod to the present and past and the connections of embracing technology. The artist of this piece, Joe Slack, is an Oklahoma native who taught himself almost everything that he knows. He has a unique style, with not one sculpture looking exactly like another. On his website, he says “My sculpture and furniture could be defined as primitive inspired art with a modern spin and a touch of humor.” Slack wishes for people to gather their own interpretation of his art. One of the most beautiful things about art is the ability for each viewer to have a unique perspective. This piece was purchased with one percent Construction Improvement Project (CIP) funding from library improvements through the Edmond Visual Arts Commission (EVAC).
